THE QUIET GIRL.
Why She Is, Almost without Exception,

Why She Is, Almost without Exception,
Successful in Life.
The quiet girl is often mistaken for
stupid one, and reckoned as cipher
among the intellectualities. Unless
she has wealth and position, she soon
finds herself de trop socially. People
who invite others because of some So
cial quality are apt to forget her ex-
istence; she does not contribute to the
glories of any salon. Nobody seems
to feel it duty to draw her out; no
body believes there is any thing to
draw out If, however, she is not
satisfied with her fortunes nobody
hears any thing about it, and conse-
quently every body believes. if they
give her thought, that she is perfect
ly resigned to the commonplace, and
that she could not appreciate any thing
better. The quiet girl never wears
high colors on the street; you do not
see her Haunting in brilliant plaids
when they happen to be the style;
when high hats are "in," she does not
pile hers so high that it sweeps the
cobwebs from the sky; she does not
wear an exaggerated bang when the
bang is in vogue, nor the biggest hustle
in town, nor the longest train to her
tea-gown, nor the greatest number of
bangles when bangles reign.
But because she does not chatter and
giggle and make herself conspicuous
in horse-cars or at matinees, does not
announce her convictions on all occa-
sions and on all subjects, and profess
her admirations at every hands turn,
it must not be supposed that she has
no ideas or convictions or enthusiasts,
that she moves along like star in the
heavens, which obeys the laws of gray
itation without selecting Its course or
objecting to its orbit. She is quiet be-
cause she has no power to make her
self heard, to change her conditions,
or because she is maturing that power.
When Stella's novel set the world agog,
did we not remember that she was the
quiet girl at school of whom nobody
expected any thing, whom we had moi
thought it worth while to cultivated
Didn't we all say: "She is the laS

literature or originality" fancyine
that genius must be noisy and self-as

learn to paint character so admirably,
when she has not known a hundred
people in all her lifep" Yet, all thu
same, she has known these few people
to some purpose; she has had leisure
to reflect upon all she has seen. Sh'
has not been so occupied in amusing
herself, in advertising her good points
in making the most of herself, but tina
she could observe others, and use al

Women's Admission to English Col
leges.

Rev. Frederick Denison Maurice, to
whom Tennyson addressed one of his
most beautiful minor poems, and who
was famed for his good works, was the
first person to give the impetus to
modern female education on the course
where since then it has so boldly adj
vanced. Dissatisfied with the qualiti-
cations of the teachers found for girls,
he looked into the subject and agitated
it, became convinced that something
more was due to the mothers of En-
gland than mere instruction in the ele-
ments, in morality, and in superficial
accomplishment, and was the means of
the ultimate chartering of Queens Col
lege, which was followed by Bedford
College, both of which were eventually
followed by the throwing open OF the
gates of Oxford and Cambridge to
women for examinations = examina-
tons which generously allowed women
to pass on their requirements if they
could, without at first affording them
any of the means of study in order to
make themselves able to pass.
The outcome of all this was the OPP
ening of Hitchin College, whose name
was afterward changed to Girton, of
sweet girl-graduate fame, and the es-
Enlistment of corresponding advan-
tages at Cambridge, all of which leaves
England still in advance ofthis country
in the educational opportunities offered
to women. What the advantage to be
derived from all this effort is to be, il
may take the whole of a century. or
three generations, to show us. But
thai it can not but result in the eleva-
ton of woman, and SO of the whole
of humanity with her, is earnestly
believed by those who are most inter-
ested in the matter.-Harper's Bazar,

Among the now few survivors of

RATloNs AT FORT RENO.
A~rapahoos and Cheyennes Mt the Govern
mont CommIssnrY RuiIdInr

Arapahoos and C~heyennes Mt the Govern
ment Commissary Building.
Ration day at Fort Reno presents an
exciting scene. There are 1878 families of
A~rapahoes, containing $50 men, 583
women and 1, no children, or a total of
2,400 persons. OF Cheyennes there are
1888 families, containing 913 men, 1,O61
women and 2,313 children-a total of
4,2S7 Cheyenne men, women and chill
dren. These 6,6S7 Cheyenne and Arapa-
hoe Indians are all fed and clothed by the
government, each family of six receiving
per week six and a half pounds of coffee,
two and a quarter pounds of sugar and
eight pounds Of flour, in addi-
ton to beef. The government com
missary building is within a stones
throw of the Canadian river.
Thither every Monday morning the
hungry Indians crowd for their weekly
supply of food. Each band of forty-fve
elects a representative, who is given a
ticket numbered from one to fourteen.
This representative presents his ticket
every Monday morning, the supply agent
punches one of the numbers and gives
the bearer his coffee, sugar and flour, and
an order for one beef. AT the end of the
quarter, when the fourteen numbers are
all punched, another ticket is issued.
Let US follow the chief pfter he has
had his ticket punched and received an
order for a beef. His eyes glitter, his
nostrils expand, his painted face looks
more horrible than ever. The other men
of the band leap on their horses. They
ride to the stock pen; the agent takes the
order and turns over to the chief a bull
or an OK. The poor brute leaves the pen
dazed-confused; in a moment confusion
gives way to wild terror. The Indian
bucks, horrible in their brilliant paints,
give vent to n series Of unearthly yells,
and begin a chase that often lasts for
hours. They goad the bull with spears,
run it hither and thither, shouting and
yelling the meanwhile as though they
were mad.
Atlength, tired Of this savage sport, one
of the band fires his rifle and puts an end
to the poor beasts misery. The bull no
sooner falls than the braves surround
him, whip out their knives, cut his throat
and drink the warm blood and eat the
warm, raw flesh. They like the hot
blood and flesh, and it is to secure this,
as much as for the excitement, that they
indulge in this wild chase every ration
day at the Reno agency. When their
g]luttonous appetite is satisfied, the
squaws take the remains of the carcass
and busy themselves picking clean the
bones, while the bucks sleep off the effect
of their orgy. For two OF three days
they ~gormandize; the rest of the week,
until ration day comes again, they half
starve. Such is the result of the govern
ment's method of caring for its wards
Lee Meriwether in The Cosmopolitan.

An Indian tepee, or wigwam, is made
by punching a dozen or so long poles to-
gether at one end, and spreading out the
other ends and sticking them in the
ground. Canvas or skins are stretched
over this frame work; that is the red
mans home, with one merit, if no other
portability. The Arapahoe or Comanche
has only to shut his house together like
N umbrella, tie one end of the bunch of
poles to his pony's neck, and he is ready
to travel. A whole village may some
times be seen in course of locomotion, one
hundred horses dragging as many tepees.
When a suitable location is found, the
rapidity with which the Indian village
springs up would put to blush even the
mushroom towns of real estate specula-
tors. In a couple of hours the tepees are
erected, the fires built, and the business
of life begun as if the town were as old
as Rome.-Lee Meriwether in The Cos
mopolitan.

THE NEWSPAPER FACTOR.

Various papers Of the territory are
showing c~ommendable enterprise in the
rapid dissemination of news. In the case
OF weekly papers they do not wait until
the regular publication day to scatter i'm.
portant news broadcast, but send out at
once extras to all their territorial cx-
changes. This innovation was introduced
by Caldwell, OF the Lander M0ntdReer,
after the paper had been changed into a
semi weekly and the idea has now been
generally adopted. The boys are whoop-
ing it up all along the line, which is evil
dence that no mater what may be the
condition OF other lines Of business the
newspapers are displaying a degree of
snap and enterprise that cannot fail to
create a very good impression abroad.
1t seldom occurs to the general run of
people that a man from a distance gains
his best conception Of the industry, pro.
grcssiveness and vim of the people of a
town from the papers published there. 1t
is rare that a pushing, live and energetic
paper is published in a stagnunt town.
Unconsciously its pages assume the som
nolent air of the community in which it is
published. Laramie business men have
done much for their town this year, but
what other factor could have spread the
news broadcast as the Boomerang, for
instance, has done?
S~hor:sighted business men are too apt
to look upon newspaper advertising as an
unnecessary drain on their income. This
judgment is a reflection on their own in
telligence. One well conducted newspa-
per will do more to advertise a town than
any organized band of citizens could 9th.
erwise hope to do. in the course of less
than a year The LEADER has sent direct
personal answers to over a thousand in
quiries regarding the city and territory
received from every state in the Union.
Every other paper in the territory is
engaged in a similar work, for which the
only pay it receives is the approval of its
consclence-a quite ample remuneration
in the minds of most newspaper men.

LAMAR AND SPARKS.

Lamar have read with great surprise his
recently published letter in which he
takes the ground hat either himself or
Land Commissioner Sparks must step

that something below the surface has
called forth this ultimatum, but why it
should be issued at this particular time,
when Mr.. Lamar is about to step upon
the supreme bench, and dissensions thus
created in and out of the cabinet, is at
present quite beyond comprehension.
There has never been much love lost be-
tween the two gentlemen, and it is there

quarrel was so slow in coming to a head.

ON TIE Jump.

Beginning to-day THE LEADER will
hereafter be sent west from here at 6:2O
O'Clock every morning. This will bring
it into Laramie City at 9:O5 a. m, Raw
Inns at 3 p. m, Green River at $50,
Evanston at . a. m the following morn
ing, while the intermediate towns will
receive the paper at correspOndingly ear,
lier hours.
Under the old order of things THE
LEADER was sent out from here at 6
O'Clock on the evening of the day of pub
LEGATION. which brought it into Laramie
at 9 o'clock of the same night, too late to
be of much practical advantage except to
mail subscribers.
Under the new order OF things it will
hereafter be promptly delivered to its
regular subscribers by its own agents in
every town between Cheyenne and Green
River, inclusive. As it will be the first
paper tina. can possibly reach the field it
starts in with a gratifying addition to its
subscription list. 1t will contain each
morning the full Associated Press report
supplemented by special dispatches from
all over the territory, besides containing
all the latest and freshest local news Of the
territorial capital
THE DAILY LEADER will hereafter, in
addition, be found on all the trains as far
east as Omaha, south to Denver and north
to the end of the Cheyenne & Northern
track. Being the first to enter this hither-
to unopened field, its circulation is now
being pushed beyond the highest point
ever reached by a newspaper published in
Wyoming Territory. Constant additions
are being made to our news gathering and
mechanical facilities, and The LEADER
may be relied upon to maintain its present
prestige and to successfully compete with
any paper published in the Rocky Noun
tain region which may enter its field.
An increase of 200 subscribers in a
single day is a mere bagatelle to what will
happen when all the returns come in.
Keep your eye on 1t, for THE LEADER
is determined to deserve its name.
